Meh... what's the issue? Because it's against the TOS, I suppose... It's also illegal to jaywalk and have garage sales, but no one cares. Doesn't bother me none. I like Dragon, and he plays often enough, so some extra cash on the side to play more doesn't sound so bad. I guess I would rather Dragon and other real pros get the chump change rather than some random Chinese gold selling website that offers power leveling...

welcome to TL.net.

doesn't matter if it's BW or SC2, people say some retarded shit all for the sake of apologia.

I'd do it myself if it was worth my time, I just don't understand why Dragon is willing to sell off his time for so cheap. Bronze to Master, even if you win every game, takes quite some time. And I don't know about Master->GM but I'd assume that takes a lot of time as well - but at least there he can get some practice on the way.

As for the morality of it, I'd question the buyer's motives. And I couldn't care less about the EULA and all that corporate cockadoodle.

Overall stupid product for stupid people, but what the hell, spend your money in a way that makes you happy.

This confession took quite a lot of guts, but thanks for publicly disclosing that you've renounced this wickedness. You're a role model of Battle.net morality. If there's a market for account leveling, there's a market for it, and people who want to spend their money getting their account leveled will inevitably find someone who will do it for them. There's nobody who needs protection from account leveling.

Honestly, I could see where it's useful (maybe getting bumped up one league that you think you'd be competent in but the game just won't let you in) but let sleeping dogs lie. If he's pulling money from this, let him be and let the economy work.

It's also against TL's featured stream rules.

I don't really understand why you'd want to be in a league above a skill level where you could get by yourself, it's not like Diablo 2 where the game is all about trading, mfing, and pking and doesn't really start until ~lv80 (it's more of a time grind, rather than a skill test. My friends and I made quite a bit of money powerleveling characters back in high school so maybe I'm a bit biased).

I mean, if hypothetically ret wanted to make a new account to practice anonymously and got it powerleveled to GM just because he doesn't want to go through the grind, I guess it could be justified, but there are other avenues you could explore in that case anyways.

If you can't beat people in Master, why would you want to be in Master when you'll just get demoted? Sure, you learn more playing against those who are better than you and losing, but still, the situation seems silly. Bragging for the sake of bragging is retarded.

That's a pretty shitty deal for dragon imo, $110 from Bronze to GM is way under minimum wage thinking about how much time it takes to get up that far.

It's pretty obvious that he's desperate for money and is taking advantage of people that will pay him and think it will be done overnight.
EffOrt. That is all.

The math is kinda weird too. Sometimes it's worth paying him to powerlevel one league at a time, sometimes 2 at a time.

That said, I guess if you ladder a bunch at least in the lower leagues it would be easy. In upper leagues maybe he'd have to jack the prices up a bit.

What is wrong with people stating there is nothing wrong with powerleveling another persons account? No one cares in Diablo or WoW, because you don't harm others. In this case, Dragon will fuck up others players by making them lose due to his superior skill. Also if you pay him, the GM will be flooded with players that don't belong there. The last place in GM (when I checked) played his last 30 games against platinum.

Those players don't belong there and make promotion into GM for people that really deserve to be there really hard. I think it should be banned and actions should be taken against this. Heromarine for example needed nearly 1700 points to be promoted which is ridiculous. He played 2 weeks against top 30 GM already.
